Ceramic Window Tint in Texas: Your Top 10 Questions Answered
Looking for ceramic window tint in the Austin Area? Here are some of the top questions asked.
Whether you're battling the Texas heat, protecting your car’s interior, or just want a sleek, stylish look—ceramic tint is the ultimate upgrade. At Blue Ocean Auto Spa in Cedar Park, we specialize in premium XPEL ceramic window tint that checks all the boxes. Let’s answer your most common questions:
1. What is ceramic window tint and how is it different from regular tint?
Ceramic tint uses nano-ceramic particles that reject heat, UV rays, and glare without interfering with visibility or electronics—unlike dyed or metallic tints.
2. Is ceramic tint legal in Texas?
Yes—when installed according to Texas regulations. We ensure your tint is compliant, including the windshield strip and VLT percentages.
3. How much heat does ceramic tint block?
Our XPEL Prime XR and XR Plus tint blocks up to 98% of infrared heat, drastically reducing interior temperatures and AC use.
4. Will ceramic tint make my car too dark?
Not at all. Ceramic tint is available in multiple shades—from nearly clear to limo dark—without sacrificing heat rejection.
5. Can I apply ceramic tint to my windshield?
Yes, but only the top 5 inches or up to the AS-1 line is allowed. This area can still block UV and glare legally.
6. How long does ceramic tint last?
XPEL ceramic tint comes with a lifetime transferable warranty. It won’t fade, bubble, or peel over time.
7. Does ceramic tint affect visibility at night?
Not if you choose a legal shade. Ceramic tint maintains excellent clarity, especially with lighter VLT percentages.
8. How much does ceramic window tint cost in Texas?
At Blue Ocean Auto Spa, packages typically range from $250 to $700 depending on vehicle size and tint type. We offer both XR and XR Plus films.
9. Why choose XPEL Prime XR or XR Plus tint?
These are industry-leading films offering unmatched clarity, IR heat rejection, and durability—backed by a trusted name in automotive protection.
10. Why should I get ceramic tint installed at Blue Ocean Auto Spa?
